February 12, 200719 yr well, an all day recon run, to find locate and map out clip wash with gps coordinates for the yuma 4 wheelers. needless to say... didn't break anything on saturday. but got plenty of body damage. was stratling a couple hundred foot long crack, back tire slipped and oops... took it easy backed out as far as i could, got hung on a rock on the rear passenger door. so i played it safe, got winched forward. no stub breakage all day! and we were wheeling pretty hard all day.
February 12, 200719 yr Author the irony, winched out by a yota again... i really think there is a message going on here... but he wouldn't get near the cracks with his yota. sunday i did get to tow a yota out though...
February 12, 200719 yr Digging the safe winching practice! Nice pics, as they say "that'll buff right out":clap:
February 13, 200719 yr Author You "rock" Jared! get it? lol Sweet pics man. Did you make it thru this? not yet, i copied and pasted the recon run report that i posted on the yuma 4 wheelers forum. it was within the first 1/4 mile of the trail, out of close to 15 miles. as soon as i get the tcase skid plate, i'll attempt it. there's a tcase hanger dead center of that climb. nice rock pointing out.
February 13, 200719 yr AWESOME PICS!!!!! Dude you !!!! nice to see a sooby do some heavy rock work, nice job. you should post those pics on the NWW site too.
February 13, 200719 yr Holy cow Jared, thats some rough stuff. Is there going to be anything left of your rig to bring back to WA?:-p Your going to think the stuff we got up here is boring after all that;)
February 13, 200719 yr Thanks for sharing. How come you hung your cloths out to dry on the cable? Looks kinda dry out there to be getting wet.
February 13, 200719 yr Author Thanks for sharing. How come you hung your cloths out to dry on the cable? Looks kinda dry out there to be getting wet. keep that cable from lashing back, breaking my window and killing me... Holy cow Jared, thats some rough stuff. Is there going to be anything left of your rig to bring back to WA?:-pYour going to think the stuff we got up here is boring after all that there will be some left of my rig when i get back and sell it, it's only body damage. i'll be selling it with another wagon body, 2 engines, spare 5 speed d/r and tcase. the wheeling down here has traction, up there it doesn't. so i'll have to get used to slick surface and squeezing between trees again!
February 13, 200719 yr , winched out by a yota again... i really think there is a message going on here... ... yes buy a winch
February 13, 200719 yr Author yes buy a winch yeah, for my yota... :-p i'm selling lil roo with all the stuff in the above post when i get back to washington, so july she'll be being sold. i'll miss her, she's my first car and has well over $6k invested into her over the years. but you gotta do what you gotta do. always, moving forward, never backwards. and i need the money to buy more parts for the yota.
February 16, 200719 yr Sad to hear your selling the roo, but I can see why.. Those pictures are AWESOME. What you do in that rig looks like so much fun.. And I wise there was a place near me, even 500km away, that was anything like that.. Very nice.. Thanks
February 20, 200719 yr Author actually that's a slightly lifted lifted taco with 33's. if i remember correctly it's a 2" or 3" lift.
February 22, 200719 yr Great Pics Jared! You "wheel" like a true Marine.:cool: Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 84 GL Mad Max 01 Forester
December 18, 200916 yr Bummer, the pics where deleted before I got to see them. wished I had known about the clothe on the cable trick before I had a pull strap break and the hook dented my back panel on my wagon. was just lucky it did not hit the back glass.
